      Having just discovered this very excellent site, and knowing that a ‘picture speaks a thousand words’ (rather like a sung jingle beats a gravelly ident hollow?!) I would like to contribute some visual history as opposed to audio!

      I ‘grew up’ with Big ‘L’ in London in the mid-60’s, so when I found myself 25 years later using some of the 60’s PAMS singers at JAM in 1991, I HAD to get a picture. The amazing Jackie Dixon was already partly retired but sang her heart out on ‘Follow the Leader’ and ‘I’d Rather be in Denver ‘cuts, with fellow PAMS singers Jim Clancy, Dan Alexander and Judy Palma. WHAT a great session for GEM AM!

      The other picture is at Alfasound’s Manchester studios in 1984. Sue, Sheila and Melanie were the 3 female vocalists, and for just one packed we used the late much missed Clifford T. Ward for some solos. In 1987 we flew across Jackie Dixon to be part of our vocal group, a FIRST for British jingles thanks to Alfasound, but of course were were later able to use her in Dallas. It Jackie hitting the ‘top notes’ on some of those ‘Follow the Leader ‘ cuts for GEM !

      Enjoy the pics, they are in the Anoraks album, because after 26 years in radio I was STILL just an anorak!!
